| Abstract |
As modern life presents increasing mental and physical health challenges, the concept of healing has become a key theme that highlights the
importance of therapeutic environments. Healing spaces are no longer limited to medical facilities such as hospitals but are now essential in
everyday areas like lounges, lobbies, and corridors. When people experience space, they interact with it through multiple senses, which can
support healing and recovery. This study examines the factors that influence individual healing through multisensory stimuli by analyzing
current research trends. It focuses on visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli, exploring how each can positively or negatively affect recovery
within healing environments. The study also categorizes detailed elements related to each sensory modality. Findings indicate that individuals
are affected by diverse sensory stimuli and that combining multiple senses, rather than relying on a single one, can create synergistic effects
that enhance healing. These insights emphasize the importance of integrating multisensory design principles into the creation of therapeutic
spaces. |
